Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2\tDue Week 5 and worth 150 points\t\tIn Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.\t\tUse the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:\t\t\tEvaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)\t\t\tFindings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)\t\t\tReferences (for Question 6)\t\tWrite a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:\t\t\tResearch the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExample: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments.\u00a0\t\t\t\t\t\tUse what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.\t\t\tExample: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives “\ufffd in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week “\ufffd satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity”\ufffd as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”\ufffd\u009d\t\t\tExample: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):\t\t\t\tEvaluation of Alternatives\t\t\tOrganize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.\t\t\tProductivity\t\t\tAlternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t{narrate findings based on research article 1 here}\t\t\t\t\t\tAlternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year\t\t\t{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}\t\t\tCost\t\t\tAlternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t{narrate findings based on research article 1 here}\t\t\t\t\t\tAlternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year\t\t\t{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}\t\u00a0\t\t\tBriefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.\t\t\tInclude a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:\t\t\t\tFigure 1: Alternatives Analyzed by Criteria\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCriteria\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTelework Option\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFloating Holiday Option\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProductivity\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVery high\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNegligible increase\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCost\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVery high\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tModerate\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCompany Image\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIncreased\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNegligible increase\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorker Morale\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIncreased\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNegligible increase\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPracticality\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tModerate\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLow\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTOTAL Feasibility* of Alternatives based on Criteria?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tModerate to High\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLow to Moderate\t\t\t\t\t\t\t*Feasability = Capability of an alternative being carried out with success\t\t\tInclude an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of Alternatives section.\u00a0 Note that both resources may be secondary resources, or you may include one primary source and one secondary source.
